We encourage vivid, engaging and playful contributions in a variety of styles and formats. Submissions should be concise, accessible, and reflect the themes of the Resilients project, inspiring active and concrete engagement with the topic where possible.

The following types of contributions are welcomed. If you need further clarification about these guidelines or have an idea for something that is not covered below, contact us. Contributions selected for publication will be edited for style and consistency.

• drops of consciousness (between 140 characters and 140 words): free-form but on-topic, more concise than stream-of-consciousness, more discursive than haiku, but with all the blinding flashes of inspiration, speculation, and insight

• reflective articles or essays (up to 2000 words): exploring their subject in considerable depth, these contributions should discuss and cite relevant sources where possible (scholarly or popular articles and books, films, novels, computer games…) but be written from an interdisciplinary perspective and with a lay audience in mind

• interviews (2000 words): can be presented in a variety of ways - Q&A, article, photographic…

• fieldwork (2000 words): a study of concrete places, events or groups, with observations and conclusions drawn from the study: this could be approached as a piece of investigative journalism or a guide book, but with more substance and depth

• case studies (1000-1500 words): these would summarise and present results of particular interventions, public experiments, or other focussed activities

• travelogue (2000 words): entertaining, intriguing and peculiar observations of your resilience-related travels. First-person and experiential, travelogues could take the form of a diary, letters, blog posts, a comic book, a photo essay… (Only submissions demonstrating outstanding literary merit will be considered in this category ;)

• poems and stories (1500 words?): contributions in various languages are encouraged; could also be something collected during fieldwork (from an interview, seen on a wall, found in an ancient scrolls…)

• communiqués/manifestos (1000 words?): these must be inflammatory and subversive, challenge the status quo, possess a strong, single-minded vision of the future, and contain a healthy dose of humour

• photo essay (optionally accompanied by up to 500 words): should be visually arresting with a well-developed compositional, thematic, or narrative quality

• visual contribution: (about 10 pieces): diagrams, illustrations, infographics

• commissioned pieces: we are open to suggestions for contributors
